NASDAQ: FAT. FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc. (“FAT Brands” or the “Company”), parent company of Fatburger, announces a new development deal with franchise partner Gregg Wright to develop a Fatburger and Buffalo's Express co-branded restaurant in Cave Creek, opening in late 2018. This restaurant, to be located at 28255 N Tatum Blvd., Ste 1, Cave Creek, AZ 85331, will be the first Fatburger and Buffalo's Express co-branded location to open in Arizona.

Fatburger, The Last Great Hamburger Stand™, is known for their juicy, made-to-order burgers, first created by founder Lovie Yancey when she launched the brand almost 70 years ago in Southern California. Each Fatburger burger is made-to-order with traditional fixings and delicious add-ons such as chili, cheese, egg, bacon and onion rings. To complement Fatburger’s menu, Buffalo’s Express offers juicy, customizable boneless and bone-in chicken wings and fresh salads.

“We have seen great success from our Fatburger locations throughout Arizona and are thrilled to expand our footprint in the market with the additional, classic fare offerings found at Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express' co-branded locations,” said Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands. “It is an exciting opportunity to bring the first co-branded location to Cave Creek, with our partner Gregg Wright, and we look forward to this being the first of many more to come.”
